Good morning, Oshkosh.

Four Northeast Wisconsin nonprofits launched the Step Up.

Show Up. campaign to recruit volunteer mentors and Court Appointed Special Advocates for youth (campaign partners include Big Brothers Big Sisters and CASA). Interested residents can contact local BBBS or CASA offices to find roles that fit their schedules.

Menasha High School won the Midwest regional in T‑Mobile's Friday Night 5G Lights contest and now needs votes through (Nov.

8) to claim the $1 million top prize; the divisional win guarantees $250,000 to repair Nathan Calder Stadium after the July 27 tornado.

Oshkosh Corp. laid off 80 salaried, office-based employees in its Transport segment, about 3% of that workforce; affected workers were notified on Tuesday and were offered severance and job-search assistance, and the company said the cuts were a structural realignment and it does not anticipate further reductions.

Neenah school board passed a balanced 2026-27 budget after an Oct.

27 meeting by leaving about 15 open positions unfilled, saving over $1.3 million (mostly from staffing reductions) and keeping health-insurance growth to 3.5%. The levy rises by $2.3 million while the tax rate is projected to fall to $5.55 per $1,000.

Menasha High made the final four in T‑Mobile's 5G Friday Night Lights and says it will use any grand prize to rebuild its stadium damaged by the July 27 tornado (the school has already earned $250,000, a Gronk Fitness gym, and a student leadership award); voting is open once per day and will run through Nov. 8.
